DOUGH KNEADER AND ROLLER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 305,474, datedSeptember 23, 1884:.

, Application filed January 21. 1884.

To all whom it may concern/:-

Be it known that I, JUDY \V. REED, a citizen of the United States,residing at VVashingtomin the District of Columbia, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Dough Kneaders and Rollers; and Ido declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descrip tion ofthe invention, such as will enable others ject the mass of doughto athorough and equa ble mixing and working by causing it to pass between apair of intermeshing corrugated rollers or cy1inders,which are arranged,to approach or recede from each other through the agency ofregulating-screws, according as the pressure on the dough is desired tobe increased or diminished, and then passing it between a pair of plainrollers to roll the dough; second, to provide a covered receiver for thedough before it passes through the rolls, and a receptable for thekneaded and rolled dough;

' and, third, to protect the mass of dough from dust or impurities inthe atmosphere throughout its working or manipulation.

In the accompanying drawings,in which the same parts are represented bythe same letters in the several figures, Figure 1 is a top view of themachine with the cover removed. Fig. 2 is a vertical cross-sectionthrough the line of one of the regulating-screws and elastic pressure-plates, and Fig. 3 is a detached viewof part of the mechanism.

A A is the box or case of my device, containing the corrugated metallicrolls B and B and the plain rollers G and G, one of which,

.18, is provided with a crank or handle, I), by

which they are actuated. The rolls B B are journaled in bearings at theends of the case A, the roll 13 being held immovable laterally (Nomodel.)

by the bearings c c, which 'aresecured to the case; or the ends of thespindles of B may revolve in the ends of the case, while the other roll,B, is held in movable bearings c c,which slide on the end pieces, a a,of the case A, their movement being regulated by the screws 0 G, whichpass through and work in threaded openings in the back of the case, andimpinge on rubber plates f f 011 the movable bearings c c of the roll B,and press it up to keep it in contact with the roll B. The plain rollerG is journaled in the ends of the case at d, and theplain roller G issuspended in hangers t, attached to the movable bearings c of roll B, and moves with said bearings, and has a belt, 6, which passes over theaxle of B and around the roller G to impart motion, and as B is moved upby the screws 0 to mesh with B, so G by the same movement of the bearing0 is brought into contact with. G, which it moves by friction therewith.

parts bythe rolls, the upper and smaller part, A, being provided with ahopper-shaped re ceiver or trough, D, which part A is attached to thecase by hinges cl at the back, so that it can be swung over to permitthe rolls to be separated or removed for cleaning, and this receiver ispreferably lined with tin or other thin metal to prevent any taste ofthe wood or other material of which the receiver is made being impartedto the dough. Below the rolls is the receptacle E for the dough after itis kneaded and rolled by passing through the rollers. This is largeenough to contain several charges of the receiving-trough, and, like thereceiver, is preferably lined with thin metal, which will not impart anobjectionable taste to the dough.

The part A, containing the receiver D, being connected with the case byhinges d and a hook, (1 when closed, holds the movable bearings c inplace on the end pieces, a, of the case. The front of the receptacle Ehas a door, F, which opens to enable the manipulated dough to beremoved, and when closed prevents the entry of dust to thedough-receptacle. The'door F is preferably not hinged,

but its lower edge is perforated to receive pins The machine is dividedinto two unequal f and is secured by the hook (V. The part A, with thereceiver D, is provided with a closelyfittin'g cover. H, to exclude dusttherefrom, and when a charge of dough is introdough, then replace thecover and revolve the duced it is kept clean during its passage throughthe rolls.

The operation of the device is as follows: Remove the cover and fill thereceiverDwith crank toward the rear and the dough will be drawn betweenthe corrugated rolls B and B,

.and the lower or plain rollers G and G, and be thoroughly kneaded androlled, and fall into the receptacle below in a continuous sheet orribbon, whence it can be removed by opening, the door F, and theoperation can be repeated as often as desired, though one passagethrough the rolls is generally sufficient, as the pressure can beregulated by the screws 0, while the elastic plates keep the rollsalwaysin contact.

, The machine is supported on rests or feet G which may stand on a tableor other surface, or be attached thereto by screws 9, pass ing throughopenings in the rests.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim therein as new,and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

able laterally and provided with a crank to actuate the device and theother being movable, and a pair of plain rollers connected with one ofthe corrugated rolls by a belt, the case being divided on the axial lineof said rolls into two parts, the upper of which is provided with ahopper to receive the dough and deliver it tothe rolls, and the lowerforms a receptacle for the treated dough, all as described.

2. In a dough kneader and roller, the combination of the case A, thecorrugated cylinders or rolls B B, the plain rollers G G, the

belt 6, the crank b, and the receptacle E, all

rollers G G, the belt-connection e, the regulating-screws O, the elasticplates f, the movable bearings c,with the caseA,provided with the doorF, and the cover H, all substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
